Dragon
From the Lyorn Records of the Dragaeran Empire
- This page is about the House of the Dragon. For the book, see Dragon (book). For the animal, see Dragon (animal).
The House of the Dragon is one of the seventeen Great Houses of the Dragaeran Empire, and the one currently next in line for the Orb. Dragons are associated with war; military commanders are usually Dragons, and they form the majority of the Phoenix Guard. Members of the House of the Dragon are often referred to as Dragonlords.

[edit] Role of the Cycle
Under normal circumstances, a Dragon will assume the throne by overthrowing the Reign of a Phoenix Emperor who has grown decadent and neglected the affairs of the Empire to a dangerous degree.
The establishment of a Dragon Reign therefore typically ends years of decay and mismanagement, allowing the fighting and organizational skills of the Dragon to benefit the Empire.
Eventually, however, the Dragon becomes over-eager to conquer, and a return to a more traditional, less revolutionary ruler is needed. This is when the Lyorn will take the Orb to curb the enthusiasm of the Dragon for another cycle.

[edit] Dragon Lineages
Dragons, uniquely among the houses, are known not only by personal name and name of their fief, but also by lineage names. The desendants of an especially notable Dragon will often identify themselves by the name of their ancestor; the name is formed by placing an "e'" in front of the ancestor's name. Known lineages include:
- e'Kieron (see Kieron)
- e'Drien (see Drien)
- e'Marish'Chala (see Marish'Chala)
- e'Lanya (see Lanya)
- e'Terics (see Terics)
- e'Tenith
- e'Baritt (see Baritt)
- e'Mondaar
